This posting is an update on the information sent out earlier on the "Film Theory Meets Turkish History" Conference to be held at Istanbul Bilgi University in Turkey, between June 18-20, 1999. Information is also available at www.ibun.edu.tr/cinema . Updates and possible changes will be announced from the Conference Homepage. Istanbul Bilgi University Film and TV Department will be holding a conference to bring together Teaching/Research Assistants, PhD and MA candidates from around the globe. The conference, which will be held June 18-20, 1999, will focus on the multiple identities and the multicultural facets of the Turkish cinema. As a virtually non-explored field from the standpoint of film theory, we believe this theme will open up new perspectives to all scholars who are researching and theorizing many of the aspects of national cinemas.
